OCEAN SPRINGS, Mississippi -- A 25-year-old Ocean Springs man is dead, gunned down in the parking lot of a bar along U.S. 90 shortly after midnight Saturday.

Ocean Springs Police Capt. Chuck Jackson said officers responded to Kahuna's Bar & Grill around 12:39 a.m. after a report of shots fired. Once they arrived, police found a black male laying in the Kahuna's parking lot at the back of the building "with multiple gunshot wounds and barely breathing."

Acadian Ambulance was dispatched to the scene and medical personnel attempted to resuscitate the victim, but ultimately he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Jackson said the victim has been identified as Troy Taylor, 25, of Ocean Springs.

Investigators began questioning possible witnesses and developed a person of interest in the case. This person goes by the name of "D.J." His location is unknown and Jackson said he is considered armed and dangerous.

"D.J." is described as a black male of medium complexion, about 5-5 to 5-9 in height and weighing between 185-195 pounds.

In addition, two other persons are wanted for questioning in connection with the case. The first is Malinda M. Tennort, 27, of #36 Westgate Apartments in Ocean Springs, described as a black female, 5-3 in height, weighing 160 pounds.

Earlier, police identified Anthoney or Anheuser "Fresh" Mitchell, 37, of 1404 Ash St. in Ocean Springs as being wanted for questioning. Authorities say Mitchell is no longer a person of interest in the case and will not face charges at this time.

Anyone with information on the identity of "D.J." or the whereabouts of any of these three individuals is asked to call the Ocean Springs Police Department at 228-9752211 or Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers at 877-787-5898.
